Yokozuna Musashimaru has not recovered in time from his cartilage surgery after Kyushu 2001 on the left wrist and Musashigawa oyakata announced his kyujo starting tomorrow. Kaiho will get a fusenhai win (and move 3-2 lifetime against the Yokozuna...).

Kotoseiya really is having a run in the Sumo Game. He is even having more points than my opponents had; my opponents had 63 points and he is clearly the only one in that region with 64 points. As I am not scoring too well this basho with 57 points I have to be lucky with a total of 3-5 so far, three tie-breaks and all won...

The letter in front of the number is a code in which country the note was printed. Sorry, but I didn't find a list of codes with corresponding countries in the net. Since all (not so many) notes in my wallet have the letter X, I assume X ist for "Made in Germany".

I read an article in my newspaper referring to the finnish school system: http://www2.tagesspiegel.de/archiv/2001/12...ws-4415509.html Another article is really funny: http://www2.tagesspiegel.de/archiv/2001/12...-mn-559570.html Sorry, both articles are in German. I would advise (especially) the finnish readers to try and read the second one to get a good laugh.

Well, I'll be banished from this forum if I tell the solution, but let me assure you that there is no cheat to trick you, just simple geometry...

I don't understand how one can possibly say that Toki and Takanotsuru have a similar style. I had the opportunity to watch some bouts of Takanotsuru in the stream from the NSK site and everyone would tell after two seconds at the latest that this is not Toki. Takanotsuru's style is very much yotsu-sumo, he is going for the belt at once; a move Toki wouldn't do whatsoever. In fact, the style between those two sekitori is as different as it can be...

Hmm, I'm not sure you got the point of my remark. I didn't mean that Germany is no team to worry about (it may be true though), but that Germany doesn't have to qualify as host country for 2006... So there won't be any qualification group with Germany.

Hello Yuichi, nice forum you are running so far. Only one comment for now: You won't have to worry about having Germany in the qualification group for 2006. I'm positively sure about that ;-)
